Britain's Going To Potts!

Posted Wed Mar 26 1:14pm PDT by Lyndsey Parker in Reality Rocks

Blimey, there's something in the Thames water these days!

First Leona Lewis, the winner of the third season of Simon Cowell's British reality show X Factor, wowed America by going on Oprah. And now the winner of Simon's Britain's Got Talent competition--the similarly alliteratively named Paul Potts--is taking the States by storm as well.

This Bristol-born opera singer--who amazed Simon (and the rest of the U.K.) with his star-making performance of "Nessun Dorma" and soon earned the nickname "Pavapotty" by his many fans--delightfully stopped by the Yahoo! Music office today. And while, alas, Paul didn't sing for the Y! staff (trust me, I asked--but he was wisely preserving his pipes for his big show at L.A.'s Wiltern Theater tonight), this very nice bloke still charmed us all.

A movie based on Paul Potts' rags-to-riches Cinderfella story is now in the works with Paramount...but until then, you can get your small-screen Pavapotty fix with this little greeting to his fans ("Pavapottheads"?) on both sides of the pond:

That's an unfortunate name. Year Zero?

I would change one of my names if I were Paul Potts. Saul Potts? LOL.

Yeah, gotta get rid of that name. An unfortunate name. Did his parents not realize/not know about the other one with that name?
